Chapter 49 Half a hair, divination to ask the way forward

There was still a lot of wind and sand outside. Many people who were rushing to travel by boat did not find a boat that could leave here. Before it was too late, they all went to find a place to stay.

As a result, this wild shop on the edge of Buyang City gathered a lot of people from the three religions and nine ranks for a while.

The wall panels of this small shop are not very strong, and the sound of wind and sand fanning the gaps of these boards can be heard.Women with nursing children do not have separate compartments, they just turn their backs slightly to avoid people.Her man was blocking some, and there were no ignorant people staring around.

Maybe it was because the air was too turbid and oxygen-deficient, the baby girl cried out with a wow, and it didn't stop.

Originally lack of water, this sand is still charming eyes.These people on the road were very impatient, and when they heard the harsh voice, they became irritable, and the people next to them looked sideways.

The woman who nursed the child felt embarrassed and only coaxed her own nurse.But the baby girl couldn't understand people's words, so she cried even more.The woman's husband was also a little anxious, and said to his woman: "What's the matter with the baby, she is always crying and making a noise." The woman was even more upset when she heard this, and shouted: "I don't know whose baby is it. , I kept crying, and the blame was on me? Why don't you take care of it?" The husband felt embarrassed on his face after hearing what her wife said, and it's not easy for him to have another attack.

Gong Cao took out a package in the casket, took out a alcoholic chocolate wrapped in turmeric paper, gave it to the man, and gestured to feed it to the child.Seeing that Gon's face was kind, there was nothing else to say, but he was a stranger after all. He didn't know what this was, and he didn't dare to give it to his own children.

Gun Cao saw the man's mind and explained: "This is a tribute from the Pasa country, wine-hearted chocolate, even the emperor and prince can eat it, it has a refreshing effect, give it a try for the children." He took one and ate it by himself. .

The couple was Jing Chai commoner, and they didn't have much thought of defending against others.It's just that I met a good person today.Not stingy to give this rare item, just thank you again and again.The woman took the chocolate from her husband's hand, took it apart, and licked it for the child. The child still closed his eyes, only to feel a hint of sweetness between his mouth and tongue, mixed with her own saliva and the milk just now, and suddenly stopped crying. Yes, and also made a squeaking sound.

The frown of the woman nursing the child gradually eased, and the man's sad face disappeared.

The number [-] people are crammed into this slap-sized wild shop, still hoping for comfort?This small shop originally only had three or five rooms, but it was already full, and each house was crowded with a large family.The rest of the people were crowded in the outer hall, and it would be nice to have a seat.

There are standing, sitting on the ground.Everyone listened to the clucking sound of the wall boards being blown by the wind, and they didn't feel any downturns in their hearts.

Sitting not far or near, there was a fortune teller. The man looked chubby, and he was a little old. His hair was a little white.At this moment, some young people, and a few others who have no backbone, surrounded him three times and three times, begging him for fortune-telling one by one.

The more troubled the world is, the more people want to fortune-telling for good and bad, and seek peace of mind.More youthful and vigorous, always feel that he is a dragon and a phoenix, and one day he will rise to the top, and he likes to talk to a fortune teller every day.There are also people who are greedy for money and lecherous, always thinking that they can marry a beautiful wife or make a lot of money.Just for comfort.

Do you think anyone really believes it?Or someone will believe it.But most people still live in reality, and they do the math, just to have fun and throw some money, and don't take the crazy talk of the gods seriously.

Gun Cao saw it, and also joined in to listen to the excitement.

The fortune-teller, everyone called him Uncle Cai, he read fortune-telling, and he didn't rely on palm prints, he didn't touch his bones, he didn't read his face, he didn't write, and he only burned his hair.

Cut half of his hair, put it in his iron cap, and burn it, and he will naturally know the man's fate.This is also strange, what he usually wears on his head is a hat made of iron, the size of this hat is very suitable for the head circumference.When he didn't say it, everyone thought it was made of cloth. When he took off the hat and buckled it upside down on the table, everyone was surprised that it was an iron hat.

At this moment, I am talking about the fate of a young man.Uncle Cai said, "Young man, you have been in Buyang City for four or five years, and you have taken scientific exams twice, and you have no results, right?"

Hearing this, Guncao was hungry.

"Well, yes, yes. Sir, you are really wise. I really did not get results after two scientific exams." The young man was stunned.How could he be so specific?That's it.A young man from out of town was hungry and full in this city. He finally took two scientific exams, but the questions on the paper were so difficult that he didn't answer anything.

Now the wind and sand that covers the sky and the sun have disturbed the indefinite postponement of this year's scientific examination in Yangcheng. This is even worse for the young man. He was about to flee back to Denghua Village in the countryside.

Now that the ferry is gone, the price of the ferry has been driven up so high by these people who are racing to escape.Now he doesn't even have the money to go home, and he looks up and bows his head and doesn't know how to live tomorrow.

Now that the things in his heart were clearly grasped by this fortune teller, he was surprised and saddened.

"Sir, what should I do now? I really have nothing to do." The young man begged him, and he regarded the fortune-teller as the last straw.

"Another half a hair." Uncle Cai said.

The young man hurriedly took the fire scissors, twisted half of his hair and put it in the iron hat.

Uncle Cai poured some powder into the hat, and the half of his hair burned.

In a blink of an eye, nothing could be seen.

"You, your career is too weak." Uncle Cai said, "Don't go back, you don't have any trouble now, you don't have any fame, what are you doing at home?" After lingering here for a few days, when the sandstorm passes, there will be a woman who will find you and then marry you. If you meet this woman, you must cherish her. She is the noble person in your life. Accompanying her for the rest of her life, she can illuminate the rest of your life."

The boy's eyes brightened when he heard this.

"Uncle Cai, how can I tell this person. How do I know if it's her?" The young man was a little anxious.

"The secret cannot be leaked. It depends on your fortune." Uncle Cai refused to say anyway.

The boy's eyes were still full of doubts, and he wanted to ask again.Taking advantage of this gap, other people also eagerly begged for divination, and pushed the young man outside.
